Weekly Challenge #307

Happy Monday All!

I feel like we've been just getting through day to day around here.  We're knee deep in Second Winter right now with temperatures around -32C (about -25F) - which makes it hard to believe that just a few weeks ago we had temperatures around + 12 C (about 53F).  Temps like that make me want to hide inside, or go to the mall...

A boy and his dad

Chewie has been having a really great time league bowling, and last week he was awarded Bowler of the Week and Bowler of the month for January!  His auntie Mel gave him a set of bowling balls of his very own, and so now he feels very professional.  (He plays 5 pin)

look at those eyes

Artoo has been working hard on a research project at school - and was very happy to show me the fruits of his labours!  In the hallway outside his classroom is his report on Deer.  He's so proud, and so am i!!

Smarty!

  It feels like everything is just getting back to normal again, and then someone gets sick.  This time it was Chewie - who caught a tummy bug and was out all weekend... and so there was much laundry and cleaning and disinfecting around here.

Sometimes when you're not feeling good you just need to snuggle up in a cuddly blanket

By Sunday he was feeling much better, and he helped me make supper - we made teriyaki stir fry and he helped me chop the vegetables, and make the sauce and cook the rice.  He did great.  He's come a long way from boiling hot dogs.  :)

he has all the prouds

We are all really looking forward to nicer weather and less yucky sick feelings.
